Location, location, location! Large, classy, timeless, comfortable, entire top floor with private entrance in our private house out of a 1890's novel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn one block from the East River. So easy to get to Manhattan by subway, ferry, cab or even foot, and all the best places in the "Burg" Wifi/cableTV/air/heat.
(We stay in our separate floor below you never compromising your privacy!)

Perfect location on the Northside Williamsburg, Brooklyn Waterfront scene, my place is a wood beamed classic, with hard wood floors and restored original brick wall. It is the top floor of a 1894 restored house on a very nice semi residential street block. The nicely outfitted place, "the country in the sky" as I refer to it, has a beautiful totally functional "Peerless" antique prewar stove for cooking, generous amounts of pots, a wood burning fire place and a full size refrigerator in the kitchen. The feelings are cozy, warm, cabin like yet elegant. The kitchen and living room are in the same open area. There is a dining room table that seats 4, a beautiful brand new couch that folds down to become a very comfortable queen size bed that sleeps 2. Beyond the living area is the large master bedroom with a queen size bed that sleeps 2 with a large antique dresser and 2 riverside windows. Off the master bedroom is a large tiled classic bathroom with an antique skylight and large tub with shower, and a small bedroom with a twin size bed and riverside window that is nice as a separate rest area, a great place for a child to sleep, or an out of sight room to put your luggage and things.
My location is beyond great and safe. 10 minutes maximum in a cab or car service over the Williamsburg Bridge and you are in Manhattan. It is a short walk (3 min) to the North 6th Street East River Ferry ( the scenic quick river route to Midtown Manhattan or lower Manhattan, please check schedules). Subways: L train ( gray line): First stop in Brooklyn, only one stop to Manhattan and a neat 10 minute walk from my place going by shops, restaurants and street vendors to the very frequent Northside L train subway stop at Bedford Ave and North 7 St, (Everything you want to pick up to take back to my place is on Bedford Ave or Kent Avenue which are the walking routes to the subway. (Among the small shops, restaurants and bars, there is now a "Whole Foods" supermarket and a Iphone store on Bedford!) The JM subway that goes over the Williamsburg Bridge with wonderful views of the river and NYC skyline to lower Manhattan (Chinatown etc), is a little further (13 min walk ) through the South Side. After a night out in the neighborhood, you will find this quiet, comfortable, timeless place to come home to that is the top floor of a restored Williamsburg house. All East River parks are a short walk away with their spectacular river and skyline views. During the warm months the weekend flea/food markets down Kent Avenue/North 8 on weekends are fun and back dropped by the river and Manhattan skyline. Grand Street River Park is only a block and a half away. I love going there in the mornings with a cup of tea and taking in the NYC view. The quaint restaurants and music clubs are amazing and abundant, the "Williamsburg Foodtown" Market has all the groceries you need and frankly the only reason I would leave the "Burg" would be to go to a museum, St. Patrick's, Grand Central's Oyster Bar or ice skating at Rockerfeller Center. Indoor Flea Market on North 7th right off Kent Ave, "Mast Brothers Chocolate" on North 3rd off Berry, "Beer Garden" restaurant lunch, dinner, brunch with live music on Friday nights on North 3rd and Berry, "Sea" restaurant (Thai) on North 6, "Sweet Water" (Bistro) restaurant on North 6, "Dumont Burger" for awesome burgers on Bedford between South 2-3,
"Aurora" (Northern Italian) with great brunches, lunches and dinners is right around the corner as is "Coxley's" sport bar with 40 beers on tap and great chicken wings on Grand St. "Teddy's" rest and bar (American Bistro) on North 8, a landmark that serves brunch, lunch and dinner and also has music sometimes at night, and the "Knitting Factory" music performance space and bar is 6 blocks away on Metropolitan. The best NY steak house, "Peter Luger's" reservations only, is in the vicinity.
The floor is divided in 4 areas: upon entering you are in the kitchen and living, dining room with a wall and door that separates this space from the large bedroom in the front, the large tiled bathroom and the smaller front bedroom. The living area can easily convert to a sleeping area for 2. The place is adorable and sleeps four comfortably. Much quieter than most places in the area. Heat, air conditioning, wifi, fine linens/towels and kitchen utensils are provided for my guest.
Full laundry drop off service and dry cleaners is available a couple of blocks up the street at "Berry Cleaners" or 302 Bedford Ave. My personal assistant/butler and I will check with you on your arrival time, hand over keys and be close at hand for anything you need during your stay. I and my husband are on our private lower floor of the house.

The neighborhood feels like a small village. It is very safe and has such a mixture of different foods, cultures, and restaurants. The Manhattan skyline views along Kent Ave can get no better and the wonderful Pier off North 5 on a Sunday afternoon is full of families, tourist and the occasional fisherman. During the warmer months there are outdoor flea markets and food markets of North 8 on the East River side. Bedford Avenue (3 blocks away) on the North and South side is filled with non chain restaurants, bars and shops.

Maria was super helpful and very friendly, let us dump our cases when we arrived early and offered good local information. The apartment is just as great as it looks in the photos, everything there you need, was very cosy in very cold weather and is situated in lovely Williamsburg. Highly recommended.

marisa2015-02-08T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely apartment in a great area. This was our first time staying outside Manhattan and we absolutely loved it.We will definitely return. We were there in December when the weather was cold but the apartment was lovely and warm all the time. The bed was extremely comfortable. We did not eat at home at all but the facilities are there if you want to. there are brilliant shops and restaurants all around. One of the nicest things was how decent the owners are. They trust you to look after the place and not abuse it and i think most people completely engage with that. It is nice to be made to feel so welcome. One thing to note: the apartment is on the second (UK) floor of a lovely old building. That means there is no lift and you will have to carry your suitcase up the stairs. Just bear that in mind when you pack. thank you Maria and Greg for a lovely place to enjoy our trip.

Welcome to Downtown, the best bit of Manhattan. One of, if not the, LARGEST on Airbnb in NYC. Your Own PRIVATE Bathroom/Bedroom, a secluded Terrace right off the bedroom and near to subways/buses, restaurants, bars, history. Real luxury, space, great guides and much more too, Just read and see why we are SUPER-HOSTS with SO MANY 5-STAR REVIEWS. You will love this place, like other guests, I promise.
Si, hablo bien espanol, Français parlé assez bien.
I hope to see you soon in the big Apple

Downtown Manhattan, .. just like you see it in the films. Only so much better in real life !
All the details are below so that will see all that you will experience on your trip to the Big Apple - there are lots of things you will love when you stay here, but PLEASE PLEASE (did I say please?) try to read all the way to the end of the description, including sleeping, information on the area, getting around and the frequently asked questions. I know it is a bit of a novel, but it is well worth it and, from experience, it makes sure you understand everything in detail and ensures you will have the best stay that you can. Anything at all that you are not sure about, if you are new to Airbnb for example, just ask and I will get back asap and clarify.
• Very spacious loft apartment ( about 2000 sq feet, 188 sq m, at last measure - so very BIG for New York) in the center of arguably the coolest area of the city (please do not argue ), modern, minimalist furniture , very open, very clean, I take great pride in having a spotless living environment (that goes for the host too). A Massive space that gets flooded with light via a wall of windows. Just take a look at the pictures. High security. Walking distance to subways & museums. Friendly building and very safe neighborhood.
• Your own PRIVATE bathroom - Large, spacious, with Jacuzzi Bath, Shower, Hairdryer, Kohler fixtures. Fresh towels etc. Fully-stocked. All the shampoo and things you will ever need. Just for you.
• Your own PRIVATE bedroom - Queen Bed for 2, linens, towels, Large Flat Screen TV, Netflix, Amazon TV etc, Wardrobe. Again only for you.
• Large kitchen - Open concept with an area to eat and with everything you need to design a gourmet feast, top of the line GE appliances, Microwave, Toaster, Kettle , Dishwasher, stainless steel counter top etc. Make any food you want - if it is really good, give me some. Make coffee there in the morning - always available -- you have your very own little coffee bar.
• Very large living area, Real Fireplace, WiFi, Surround sound HDTV with HDMI hook-up and Roku TV, Bose sound system with iPhone/iPod hook-up, the best choice in music (in my opinion, most not consulted). Sit.... Enjoy
• Large dining area - seats lots, great views over the city and over the Williamsburg Bridge. Eat foods mentioned above (probably while seated, although one can never be sure).
• Natural brick walls (as opposed to unnatural I suppose) and a lovely Merbeau wooden floor, both of which look good (but don't say much).
• Floor to ceiling windows throughout - bathed in sun (when the sun is out, mainly, of course)
• Outside secluded seating area and balcony - you access directly from your room - very secluded (sometimes I cannot find it)
• Full air conditioning / heating in the room and in rest of loft - be hot, be cool (most likely one at a time)
• Bosch Washer and Dryer - for you to use - we like to reserve that for guests who stay for 3 nights or longer - being kind to the world too, we try to use cold water as well where possible.
• Keyed Private elevator entrance directly into Loft - of course you have your own key (or stairs if u have the energy - does not seem so popular, strangely)
• Printer / Scanner available. Pens and paper too, if you are a traditionalist.(although we draw the line at camel hair brushes, I'm sure you understand). And there is a universal power adapter for you to use to charge your gadgets too.
• The building is a very smart development, a recently renovated 7-story apartment block with original brick facade, great views of the city skyline. Quiet, lovely, village feel, with parks and pedestrian areas just outside, but close enough to get anywhere very easily. I think I am allowed to say it is authentic.
• This is a very large and comfortable space that you will be free to enjoy as you wish (this is your vacation after all). You will have lots of privacy if you wish and as well as the city, you have Books, Music (great as mentioned above), Roku TV with lots of channels and an online DVR and more .... or just relax and chat. Up to you. We provide the following publications too
New York Times
New York Magazine
so you can feel a bit like a New Yorker
• Located in the heart of the LES - food (some of the best in the city), drink, fun, shopping all very, very close. A very cool residential neighborhood just a short trip to all the action. Perfect location for exploring both sides of the river too, as very close to Brooklyn and Williamsburg. One of the most historic neighborhoods in the U.S. (perhaps the most). We are only a few minutes away from the walkway along the East River, it has a great view of the Brooklyn bridge and Manhattan Bridge. Nearly opposite the Tenement Museum (which is really great). TV, Film and general interest media all the time (become a star - or an extra anyway) ,music clubs and comedy left right and center and Alphabet City, Ludlow Street , East Village, Chinatown and Soho all in spitting distance - and I can not spit far. Direct Access to cabs just outside building.
• Food shopping wise, it is 3 blocks from a Whole Foods and a couple of blocks from the Essex Street Market. Great food shopping if you want.
I hope everything is covered - email if you need more information. I hope to see you soon and I hope I can be part of your visit to this unique place.

Best neighborhood in Manhattan for independent coffee shops, cozy wine bars, up-and-coming restaurants (the area has 4 out of the top 10 best places to eat in this years NY magazine list) , intimate music venues, and interesting owner-operated shops. Like no other area in the city. A very peaceful cool neighborhood, yet just a short trip to all the action.
Check out the "Guidebook" with my listing -- I send a much longer one that I have written directly to guests that do decide to stay before they get here - and they love it, mention it often in their reviews and keep asking for extra copies!!

Everything went out perfectly! Clean and friendly. Very supportive and helpful. Good address to explore NYC and definitely an address to visit again!

Rolf2015-12-19T00:00:00Z

We loved this place! The space was clean and comfortable and the location was fantastic. During our three-night stay, my husband repeatedly commented on how much he loved the feel of the apartment. Marc was our host for the stay and he did a great job. He was so friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed our time at this apartment and highly recommend it to anyone!

Christine2013-12-16T00:00:00Z

Here we go: - Carol and Marc are easy in communication and were always ready to help us - The apartment's location is perfect, near to the coolest bars, breathtaking restaurants and if you want to cook, close to Whole Foods. - Our room and bathroom were clean and we had everything we needed - Marc's advice for some bars and restaurants was THE BEST - We'd love to go back - Get up early, use their bikes en discover the city. We loved it!

Ciska2015-10-12T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Marc and Carol’s beautiful apartment in December 2013 for about 2 weeks. The location was perfect. We were able to access all parts of New York City by way of subway from this location. You can almost take any train by subway to return home. Buy a weekly pass and you are sorted. This weekly pass will also entitle you to the bus services in Manhattan. The only snag with the buses was that they were rather slow. We felt very safe at the location. There were times when we returned home after midnight and we never felt that we were in harm’s way. The location had so many iconic food establishments which include Katz Delicatessen and Russ and Daughters. You can walk in any directions and you will find decent eating places. The apartment is beautiful and the bed was comfortable. We both slept like logs. We usually have difficulties to sleep in a bed other than our own. The private bathroom was excellent and the shower was just perfect. Marc was so understanding that he even asked permission before he entered the bathroom to check on the power socket. The lovely thing about staying in the apartment was that the kitchen was well equipped and the lounge was comfy and big. Marc insisted from the start that we utilize the whole of the apartment and not stay cooped up in the room. This changed the experience significantly. We bought a lot of food from the Wholefood store nearby, had lovely meals in the kitchen and watched American tv accompanied by steaming hot cocoa on those cold winter evenings! One of the reasons that we chose AirBnB is because we like to interact with the local people and get their insight on the local scene. Marc was the quintessential perfect host! We missed Marc’s better half, Carol as she was away when we were there. He was so helpful and if he did not know the answer he will search for it. We enjoyed the discussions which included, amongst others about what defines a New Yorker. We could never have had the same experience living in a hotel room on our own. We left New York City with many happy memories and a firm friend.

Abdul2013-12-28T00:00:00Z

Carol and Marc were warm, friendly, and helpful. The apartment is beautiful, clean and close to several subway lines. I would return.

Michael2014-01-20T00:00:00Z

The apartment was amazing, you get a private bathroom and the bed was just like a hotels. It was so close to the metro and walking distance to so many cool places. Marc and Carol were just fantastic, guiding us on the places to go and things to see. They made contact with us before our trip to see if there was anything we needed help with and were amazing to make sure we made it home safe. This was the best air bnb experience we have had. I would recommend this place to anyone who is considering it.

Cozy, warm atmosphere, perfect for the traveler looking for a real NY experience.This reservation is for one person. Best neighborhood in midtown Manhattan for the best price. In the hub of Hell's Kitchen nightlife, restaurants, theaters, museums. This is a smoking apartment.

Bedroom is small, but very comforting. Kitchen is HUGE with tons of sunlight and every spice you can imagine for all you chefs. Very easy going apartment- smoking is perfectly fine. Part of the apartment is an art workshop. Bathroom is large with skylight. Apartment is in back of the building, so the apartment is very quiet. An oasis in midtown. This reservation is for one guest.

Hell's kitchen is THE center of the entire city. Some of the best and affordable restaurants in the city, with any type of cuisine you could want. The apartment is walk able to virtually any subway line in the city. The neighborhood is in the center of the arts, with Times Square, Broadway theaters, and Central Park a stone's throw away. A vibrant nightlife and artist community with a neighborhood feel. Anything you're looking for is here!

Jeffrey is about the nicest guy I can imagine staying with. Great conversation, extremely hospitable guy. Made coffee and tea for my arrival and breakfast in the morning. Knows the city well and was a pleasure to meet and stay with.

This place is legendary. Location is super convenient, Jeff is very relaxed and friendly man with great sense of humor. Flat itself is very nice, clean and colorful. Jeff even do breakfasts and iced teas/coffees for guests, which is so appreciated in cruel NYC July. This place is really something and can't be missed. Thank you, Jeff.

Albert2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

Jeffrey's place was great. It is in the perfect spot, close to everything and he is very welcoming and very easy to chat with. He is also helpful with directions and very knowledgable about the city. I would recommend his place and I hope to visit again in the future. P. S. Thanks for the breakfasts, they were fantastic. Say hi to the birds for me

400 sq ft modern studio in a fantastic location! Situated in a modern elevator building only one block from the subway and in the best area for nightlife in NYC. The apartment features a queen sized bed, HDTV/wifi, dining and full kitchen.

Epicenter of entertainment in the city. This area has amazing restaurants on each block and there are many bar options to go out on the weekends all within 1-3 blocks!

We stayed at Katherine's apartment for four days. Apartment look like it does in the picture. It was easy to walk to places. The heating and air-conditioning work very well. Our plane was arriving late and Katherine was kind enough to let a friend of mine get the key from her The bed was extremely comfortable. What I didn't like about it was it wasn't very clean. There was food left in the freezer half eaten. There was soda in the refrigerator that was half empty. When I open the refrigerator and saw how it looked it really bothered me. There were cigarette butts in a flower pot on the balcony that I feel should've been emptied because we are not smokers.

Janis2015-10-11T00:00:00Z

The Sunny Gem was a great place to stay! It is in a great location as it's a block away from the subway. There is also plenty of restaurants very close! It looked exactly like the pictures. We came in very late and got our keys no problem. Thanks Katherine!

Danica2015-10-19T00:00:00Z

Это место действительно уютно и удобное место для проживания

Madeline2017-02-10T00:00:00Z

愉快的一室公寓在曼哈顿的很大一部分。令人惊讶的开阔的视野与大量的阳光。凯瑟琳是十分宽松。舒适的床。

Margaret2015-05-02T00:00:00Z

Best apartment for the essentials including transit, comfort, style, and overall cuteness. Exactly as pictured! Definitely coming back!

Sarah2017-06-22T00:00:00Z

Great place to relax. The apartment was clean and easily accessible via public transportation. I would highly recommend to others looking for a quick stay in NYC.

Dennis2017-04-22T00:00:00Z

Kay's place was absolutely lovely. The decor was vibrant, and the location was great.

Arielle2017-04-01T00:00:00Z

Great house. Especially if you want to stay downtown. Clean, quiet and nice. The big window in the living room is overlooking rooftops and construction sites - not the skyline of Manhattan but also not very bad. Good communication with the host. Not cheap but I guess that for Manhattan it is alright.

2500 square feet TriBeCa loft with 13-feet exposed beam ceilings, hardwood floors and over-sized windows. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, large kitchen, washer/dryer, art, and modern furnishings. We own our building, live on the premises, and are available for assistance at all times. We are in compliance with all local and state rent laws.

Located on a quiet historic block in a landmarked cast iron building, steps from both the TriBeCa Grand Hotel and the SoHo Grand Hotel, situated amongst an abundance of restaurants, bars, shopping, landmarks, galleries, and hidden treasures of New York.

The condo was as beautiful as the photos, we went as a group of 5 colleagues and had a wonderful time. Very spacious, great location and well look after by our hosts. Recommend this to anyone and everyone. Thanks again Chester and Jon.

Laura2013-05-04T00:00:00Z

We rented this loft for a girls weekend. It is a spectacular space, lovely clean modern lines in a beautiful old building. Communication with Jon and Chester before our arrival was prompt and helpful, check-in and check-out went smoothly and the flexibility on timing was wonderful. Lovely towels, linens, comfortable beds, espresso machine loaded with beans, hair dryer, good living room space to chill and chat at the end of long days wandering NY, what more could a girl ask for. Well located, subway down the street, diner for breakfast around the corner, liquor store, small grocer for wine and cheese, very convenient. Many restaurants. For us this loft was so much better than a hotel because it allowed us to live together for the weekend instead of being in different hotel rooms. You cannot beat the price, the location and the ambiance. Thank you Jon and Chester.

Kathleen2013-10-21T00:00:00Z

Chester & Jon were very kind and helpful with any question or problem. The loft is nice and offers a lot of comfort and space. The beds are nice and comfortable, the baths as well. The kitchen is big and has all the electric equipment you would ask for. Every other positive facts have been described in the previous reviews. The disappointing fact: During the entire stay we felt like being inside a construction site. At daytime there was a lot of noise and dust from the ongoing rebuilding on the same floor and from the floors below. The place was quite dusty from the beginning, especially the floors and of course there was additional dust from the construction going on around. The Wifi was of very poor stability, also we hat some electrical power issues. Jon would actively try to help with asking the provider for improvement - unfortunately with little success. Over all we felt like not getting really what we have been paying for.

Wow! What a great apartment! We had everything we needed and we were very comfortable. Nice big beds, high quality linens and towels and a sleek modern kitchen and bathrooms. We didn't cook much because there are so many great restaurants in NYC, including several within walking distance. We easily traveled all over the city using the subway system; there are two stations nearby that provide access to many of the subway lines. We loved staying in an apartment instead of a hotel and there was plenty of room for our family of five...we will be back!

The space is a large studio room with a king bed. The best part is that this is an apartment in a hotel and therefore comes with all the standard perks of being in a 4-star hotel for less of a price: twice daily cleaning, concierge service, etc.

Excellent host, location, and value. Nicely finished room and bath. Hotel lobby, adjacent bar, and helpful staff perfect. This rental is ideally situated in midtown Manhattan, near Central Park. It is a comfortably sized room, nicely appointed, but be aware it is not a studio or suite.

Charles2017-06-10T00:00:00Z

Everything about this place was perfect! The location was ideal as we were within walking distance to all of the sights that we wanted to visit! Ian was such a gracious host and the place was beautiful! The staff at the Lombardy Hotel was also amazing in every way. We loved staying here, recommend highly, and can't wait to go back.

Elsa2016-12-07T00:00:00Z

Ian's place was perfect! My husband and I came in one night for business and it was exactly what we needed. The room is at the end of a hallway and was very quiet, you hardly knew you were in the big city! That said, as soon as you left the building you had a million wonderful things to go see and do within walking distance. Central park is only a few block's walk away as well as a plethora of museums and restaurants. It was clean and comfortable, I'd recommend it highly to anyone.

Erin2017-01-13T00:00:00Z

We found Ian's place to be a great location and really clean. The check in procedure and communication were great. There was valet parking available which was really convenient. The only negative was that the bed was not very comfortable. A new mattress would make Ian's place perfect!

Maria's home is in a great location, near multiple bus lines, nice eating restaurants and grocery store. The back garden is really nice and calming. Steve, her assistant was very helpful. I recommend this location to anyone looking for a safe home outside of the city but not too secluded.

Maria is very kind and responsible host. Her place is cute and functional for those who spend week less for NYC trip.

I took my pets there. Steve and Maria are very nice and helped me a lot. Easy to communicate. Taking Uber to path is easy and cheap. The room is so warm and cozy. I really enjoyed my time there.

Siqi2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Such a cute quiet place. We went into NYC every day and it was very easy to navigate from this location!

Teresa2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

Maria welcomed us warmly. We took our cat there and she even cared about her long travel:) I was able to communicate with her easily whenever I needed during the stay through my mobile. It has been a temporary stay until we found our permanent home in NY. And as we found it earlier then we expected, we had to check out earlier then the reserved date, though Maria totally understood our situation. The accomodation is a half basement. It was spacious with two rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom and very well organised! The location isn't quite close to Manhattan but the neighbourhood is fine and it is a walking distance from the high street of Jersey City (which may be the Central Ave. I suppose?).

The listing is for 1 bedroom fully furnished with brand new furniture, equipped with Air Conditioner and high-speed Wi-Fi. The place is located on a safe and quiet residential block, equipped with surveillance cameras and automatic locks for your safety

The lodging accommodations were as expected and accommodating for a short stay in the NYC area. Best part about it was everything was in walking distance from the stay.

Andrew2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

It was very clean,and very comfort. So I could be relaxed. Thank you so much!

Having stayed in many places in Jersey City in all different areas I would say that this is my favorite pick out of the six via AIrBnB. The property is very well maintained, the host's communications were clear, professional and friendly - and the space itself is better than what you see in the pictures of the date of this review. Local amenities are very accurately described. The neighborhood is residential and the Riteaid, stores and eateries are good - just avoid the BK fast food or read the reviews online (not a reflection of Diyan's place). Compared to other places, it can suit a backpacker, business traveler as well as a family in terms of common areas (cleanses and privacy). I'm sure the room rate will go up as more people review it but it is deserved and it is on my list of options for this location.

Spacious 1 bedroom apartment in amazing neighborhood Hoboken. It also has a large kitchen, long corridor and dan with computer desk. About 15 mins walk to the Path train and 10 mins walk to the Bus which goes to Manhattan. The most frequent bus in Port Authority Manhattan. Runs every 10 mins and it takes less than half an hour to get to Manhattan. Hoboken is a very cozy place with a lot of things to do and at the same time super close to Manhattan.

It's super conveniently located for everything you could need during your stay. Quaint, cozy space to satisfy all basic needs for a short-term stay just outside the hustle & bustle of NYC. Please keep in mind this is a shared, small space. Not ideal for people who work from home.

Quiet, safe, friendly, easy commute to the city... full guide to the area provided upon arrival.

The listing was very accurate and Brian was very quick to respond to my requests. The view was spectacular.

Jeffrey2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

Brian was an excellent host! And, the place was fantastic! If you are visiting the area, this is a great place to stay!

Pedro2017-02-09T00:00:00Z

Brian's apt was so beautifully decorated!! He made me feel right at home as soon as I walked in the door, he's so sweet he brought me a glass of water !! In the room where I was staying he wrote out an entire list of whats around the neighborhood, and what to find in the apt just in case I needed it. I felt like I was staying at a hotel. The place was neat ,smelled amazing and he was a phenomenal host!! I hope I can stay there again cause I never wanted to leave !!! Also very close to Washington Street and easy walk to the path train

Jaclyn2017-01-06T00:00:00Z

Brian's place is perfectly located within Hoboken's downtown, a short walk from the PATH and next to a nice cafe. There's a laundromat on the next block too. Brian is a good host and I enjoyed my stay. I'd be happy to stay here again!

Stephanie2017-06-05T00:00:00Z

夜にベッドを必要とし、価格と場所がポイントでした。ブライアンもフレンドリーでプロフェッショナルでした。

Chris2017-01-20T00:00:00Z

Brian and his apartment where fantastic. Brian was a very pleasant and sociable host providing with us with everything we could possibly need. The location is perfect, 2 blocks away from Hoboken's main street which is full of fantastic bars and restaurants, and a short 5-8 minute walk from the path station. I will definitely be using Brian's services again in the future and thank him for his hospitality.

Anthony2017-04-13T00:00:00Z

Great host and great apartment

Francisco2016-12-28T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely brand new renovated 1 bedroom home has a warm and inviting feel (finished by a professional interior decorator), is 20-35 minutes from midtown New York City via bus that stops outside the home. The house has it's own entrance and there is no sharing. Private entrance to the house include access to the beautiful backyard to enjoy the outdoor space.

There are 1 magnificent bedroom; A master bedroom with a King-sized bed, and a pull out double sofa bed.
The luxurious living room is an open space panned with dinning room and kitchen, creating a brilliant space for evening entertaining. Snuggle up on the comfortable couch and watch your TV shows.
A large Modern kitchen (fully equipped with all brand new stainless steel appliances) adjoins a fabulous dining area.
A sparkling new full sized bathroom completes the interior.
The natural wonder of the Backyard and cozying up by the garden, it’s a real home from home that will make your trip an unforgettable one.

An amazing home located in the heart of a burgeoning arts community in Jersey City Heights' Riverview Arts District - a close community of artists, where new restaurants, coffee shops and juice bars pop up almost monthly. Can't beat the location - only 5 blocks to 9th St light rail station, 2 blocks to bus stop to NY and Riverview Fisk Park - a lively park bustling with market/music activity and panoramic views of NYC.
•The neighborhood
JM homes.Place is located in Jersey City, New Jersey, United States.
Charming and unassuming neighborhood. We rented an apartment at the adjoining street (Ogden) and fell in love with the neighborhood.

Below is an overview of some of our favorites in the neighborhood.

You don't have to do out side laundry.

•Getting around
There are several ways to get to New York City from the apartment but the most convenient are by bus.
To Midtown Manhattan
The easiest way to Manhattan is by NJ Transit. There are two lines: Rt. 123 and 119. The bus stop for rt. 123 is directly outside the house at Palisade and South. The stop for route 119 is at Congress and Palisade Ave. You can wait at that corner and get whichever bus comes first. BUT, be aware the stop for route 119 is across the street on Palisade at Congress, while the 123 stop is on our side of Palisade. So you need to keep your eyes out and be ready to cross the street quickly if you do this!
The fare is $4.50, and you must have exact change. (Budget tip: if you take the route 119 and get on at the next stop at Paterson Plank Road at Congress the fare is only $3.50).
There is an apps called Citymapper that can make the process a lot easier. Enter where you’re going and it tells you the best route and the times of the next bus.
There are also a series of jitney’s that run on the same line. They cost only $2 but they’re often full and only run during rush hour.
To Downtown NYC
Two main ways to get to downtown Manhattan are:
1: Take the 87 Bus on Palisade ave. to EITHER the Journal Square PATH station or Hoboken PATH station.
Via Journal Square: To go to Journal Square this you will go outside, cross Palisade avenue, and wait at the bus stop across the street (by the Tortilla place). You’ll need $1.50. The Journal Square stop should be announced, you’ll only be on the bus for a few minutes. At Journal Square, look for signs for the PATH train. You’ll need to buy either a PATH card or Metrocard. Metrocard might be preferable as you can use it on the NYC subways as well. The fare is $2.50. Find a machine and buy a credit card, adding as much value as you think you’ll need. You can take the PATH to either World Trade Center (to go to the lower tip of Manhattan) or the 33rd street line which has stops through downtown New York around 6th Avenue.
Via Hoboken: You catch the 87 bus right outside our door on our side of the street. Get off at Hoboken which should be the final stop. The PATH station is right where the busses get off. Same PATH instructions as above.
2: Or if you prefer, you can take the light rail. This will take a bit longer, but might be a nicer trip, particularly if you want to walk around Hoboken, which is a nice town. You take a right outside the apartment, walk to Congress, and take a right. At the end of Congress you should see a large elevator structure. Take the elevator down and you’ll be at the light rail station. Take a light rail train to Hoboken (should say HBLR Hoboken). Hoboken will be the last stop. You then take a PATH train, either to World Trade Center to go far downtown, or the 33rd street train which has stops through downtown New York. Another route by light rail is to take the train to Newport instead of Hoboken. From the 9th street station you’ll look for a train that says HBLR West Side). Take that to Newport stop. When you get there you will need to walk one block across Washington Ave (a large road) to the Newport PATH Station. This will take you on the 33rd street line.
To Hoboken
Jersey City Heights is just steps to Hoboken down a very steep hill. There are two ways to get there. One is to take a right outside the apartment, walk to Congress, and take a right. At the end of Congress you should see a large elevator structure. Take the elevator down and you’ll be at the light rail station in Hoboken. You can take the light rail two stops to get to the heart of Hoboken. The main drag is called Washington street.
The other is to take a left outside the apartment, turn left at Franklin Street, and take the large stairway down. If you walk straight ahead you’ll be on 1st street. If you go straight on 1st you’ll end up in the heart of Hoboken.
Parking
Street parking is limited to two hours during the day and free after 5 pm during weekday. Weekend is free.
You need a permit to park on our streets for any longer than 2 hours between 8am-5pm during the week. Short term permits can be purchased for $5 a day at the Jersey City Parking Authority, at 394 Central Ave.
•As a courtesy I can usually arrange to buy the Parking passes in advance if you agree to reimburse me. •
If you plan to use the car during the day you might not need a pass. You scratch off only the day you're using it and display that on your car. IMPORTANT POINT: keep in mind that even if you have a pass, you need to make sure to park in a valid spot. There are street cleanings periodically where certain spots become no parking zones for a set amount of time twice a week. Check the signs closely (even if you don't see one right near the car). The police will ticket.

best airbnb I've stayed in will definitely be using it again

Caren's place was very very well organized, clean, cozy, very good quality on everything from hand soap to a very comfortable bed. We absolutely loved everything about it.Also thank you for letting us check in early and giving us as much information as you could so we could be able to get to NY. It's 25-30 minutes to get to NY you have to use the train and bus from there is not expensive at all however, I do recommend having cash as credit cards aren't accepted. Thank you again for having us !
